| Opticians Totowa NJ |
Opticians at Totowa Nj
are trained to design, verify and fit prescription eyeglasses.
Opticians work with the prescription given by the doctor as well as
the lifestyle of the patient to prescribe the best frames and lenses
for the patient. In many states, opticians are also trained to fit
contact lenses; however, in New Jersey, opticians are only able to
resell contacts that are already fitted by a doctor. Opticians make
sure that the prescription in the eyeglass frames is correct as well
as adjust and repair the frames.
At Pearle vision Totowa the face of each patient needs to
be measured in order that the frame could best fit the face, and it
is the optician that takes those measurements. Opticians cannot
write prescriptions for vision correction or diagnose eye conditions.
Depending on the state, opticians become certified and licensed
after one or two years in school.
